We’re pleased to share milestones that our authors and other friends have achieved recently.


Don Meyer
Peter Twist

Don Meyer

Don Meyer, a legend of college basketball and an author of Basketball Skills and Drills, Second Edition, died Sunday, May 18, in Aberdeen, South Dakota, at the age of 69. Meyer fought carcinoid cancer in the last years of his life.

A purist who loved teaching and basketball but was not interested in navigating the complications attached to Division I basketball, Meyer spent his career working at small colleges: Hamline in Minnesota, Lipscomb University in Nashville, and Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. In January 2009, Meyer set the mark for the most wins for any men’s coach in NCAA history; when he retired after the 2009-2010 season, he had 923 victories, a mark that has since been surpassed by Mike Krzyzewski.

He has been working for a few hours every day with Stephens in Los Angeles, where they both live, according to Tennis.com, which first reported the news. Paul also previously coached Pete Sampras and Tim Henman.

Advanced Analysis of Motor Developement

Acquisition editor Josh Stone’s son is like his dad and enjoys geeking out. Here Holden is sneaking a peek at Advanced Analysis of Motor Development by Kathleen Haywood, Mary Ann Roberton and Nancy Getchell. It’s clear that our employees practice what HK preaches. Of course, some might think we just look for cheap proofreaders who don’t demand minimum wage.
